For 28 years, Classic Motor Cars has been at the forefront of automotive sales and specialized in hard-to-find cars and luxury vehicles.

"Classic cars are an investment. A lot of the older cars are worth more next year than they are the year they are purchased - they appreciate," says Tom Souter, general manager for Classic Motor Cars in Lubbock. "Our cars are sold under retail value, so we often get buyers from Dallas, and as far away as Boston, Michigan and California over the Internet."

Tom attributes the high level of quality found at the dealership to the company's buying policies. Classic Motor Cars makes bids on cars from dealerships across the southwestern United States and has become known by collectors throughout the country.

"We purchase most of our vehicles from new car stores," Tom says. "We make it a point to focus on one-owner trade-ins. When we offer a car for sale, we know it's essential to have a history of the vehicle. At Classic Motor Cars, we know where most of our cars have been, how they have been cared for and who has owned them."

The dealership offers a wide selection of cars that appeal to consumers with different tastes. Ninety-nine percent of the cars are priced below retail rates, Tom says.

"We handle the older classic models, like a 1962 Corvette, and we also offer newer cars from manufactures like Lexus, Mercedes and BMW," Tom says. "We're definitely not the average used car lot. We want to help each customer find exactly what they are looking for - whether it's a car, utility vehicle or motorcycle."

"We believe in customer satisfaction. Classic Motor is big on selling satisfaction," Tom says. "No one should assume that they can't afford one of these great cars because we offer many options. If you see something you like, you should come by and get the full story."
